Have you ever tried to untangle a handful of old jewelry that had been carelessly tossed aside in a drawer? That is the case here. The chains are knotted and kind of matted together... especially the tiny, fine chains. It takes a lot of patience... a lot of patience... to bit by bit, untangle and unknot the mess. And if you get careless, or hurried... you can pull the knots even tighter.
Crying out to God in the midst of one of life's tangled "messes," sometimes we may feel that He is not answering... not even hearing us. But, think about this...
Yes... God is answering... by slowly and carefully untangling and unknotting our "mess" with His skillful hands. He is there... lovingly, behind the scenes... working out the situation with great precision and care... all for our good. And He can be trusted.
